Less than 10 months ago, I watched in person as Stanford routed Iowa in the Rose Bowl. A few weeks ago, I returned to the Rose Bowl (stadium) and watched a stirring comeback versus an overly aggressive, motivated UCLA team. The coaching staff has not forgotten how to coach. The team will get healthy and will improve. If McCaffrey sticks around for one more year, Stanford will win the Pac-12 in 2017.
So I would say that my mood is the same as the adjective that I used to describe myself in my Stanford application for undergraduate admissions in 1980: Hopeful.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
